CURRENT MISSION

Meet people, share cultures, improve my English...

ABOUT ME

DO NOT TRUST CS LAST LOGIN LOCATION : WHEN I AM IN UK, IT'S IN EXETER, UK!

I am Cyrielle, a young French PhD student in Biosciences (Microbiology, Infectious Diseases) in Exeter, UK.

I subscribed on CS when I was looking for hosts in the UK : I was looking for a PhD position and I wanted to travel, improve my English... at the same time. So I did a sort of road trip in the UK ! What an incredible experience, very enriching, I just met the best hosts ever ! You can follow my project on my French blog.

MORE ABOUT ME

I'm a duality personnified, so it's hard to put a label on me. I adapt myself to everything and everyone, because I enjoy almost everything and this contrary !

People used to say I'm easy going thanks to that. That's why I have a lot of different types of friends, I guess.

I'm also open-minded, polite, kind (I love to please people), optimistic, persevering, cheerful, curious, easily friendly with people I just met, fond of food and tea, and even if I love girly stuffs (shopping, beauty product, fashion...) I am not shallow (I love reading, learning,...). I am not vegan, but I can live without meat. I love watching sport (especially football) on TV, but I hate doing sport (except salsa). I'm sensitive to the cold, and I always wear an umbrella in my bag even when I lived in Toulouse, a sunny city ! I am an urban girl, and I prefer the sea than the mountain or countryside. I hate spiders and mosquitos, the only two animals I accept people to kill. I am a sleeper, but I can wake me up very early if it's for something awesome (going to Disneyland, meeting dolphins...) or just because I have to... !

PHILOSOPHY

Looking for happiness, what else ???

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

SURFING

I am easy going so I guess I am a good guest. I can adapt myself to the hosts' life : be quite or party with them, share meals or not,... and even cook (but I am not a Chef), help to do the housework, participate to their lifes like a "member of family" usually do, take care of the pets/children,..

I don't have a sleeping bag for the moment in the UK, but I have my own towels.

MEETING

Meeting a lot of people and share with them my happiness, my smile,...

If you are interested to learn French and French culture... just ask !

HOSTING

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

It was awesome.
